[Verse 1]
I used to love the Tenderloin
Until I made some tender coin
Then I met some ladies from Marin
We took the highway to the One
Up the coast to catch some sun
They left me with these blisters on my skin

Don't know what I was on
But I think it grows in Oregon
So I kept on going, going, gone, right through
I drove into Seattle rain
Fell in love then missed the train
That could've took me right back home to you

[Hook]
I've been high
I've been low
I've been "yes," and I been "oh, hell no"
I've been rock 'n roll and disco
Won't you save me, San Francisco?

Oo oo oo...oh oh
Oo oo oo oo ooo ooo

[Verse 2]
Every day's so caffeinated
I wish they were Golden Gated
Fillmore couldn't feel more miles away
So, wrap me up return to sender
Let's forget this 5 year bender
Take me to my city by the Bay

I never knew all that I had
Now Alcatraz don't sound so bad
At least they'd have a hella fine merlot
If I could wish upon a star
I would hitch a cable car
To the place that I can always call my home

[Hook]
I've been high
I've been low
I've been "yes," and I been "oh, hell no"
I been rock 'n roll and disco
Won't you save me, San Francisco?
I've been up
I've been down
I've been so damn lost since you're not around
I've been reggae and calypso
Won't you save me, San Francisco?

[Verse 3]
To tell you the truth
I miss everything, everything
It's a wild, wide, beautiful world
But there's a wide-eyed girl back there
And she means everything, everything

[Hook]
I've been stop
I've been go
I've been "yes" and I been "oh, hell no"
I've been rock 'n roll and disco
Won't you save me, San Francisco?
I've been up
I've been down
I've been so damn lost since you're not around
I've been reggae and calypso
Won't you save me, San Francisco?

Oo oo oo...oh oh
(Won't you save me, San Francisco?)
Oo oo oo...oh oh
Won't you save me, San Francisco?
Oo oo oo...oh oh
(Won't you save me, San Francisco?)
Oo oo oo...oh oh
Won't you save me, San Francisco?

Train

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
